Chapter Text
Everything is cold…Why won’t it go away and I can't stand up…I wonder why.The room shakes and a dim but light hearted voice calls out,I can’t tell what they’re saying.Light starts to pour into my vision,then it starts getting dimmer,I miss the light like a melody dancing along a sound.Everything is still…then suddenly the air feels like it’s been ripped out of my lungs and water filling my ear then suddenly it’s gone.Pushing off the tiles I look around to see a room with black wallpaper peeling off the greasy wall,with a hint of perfume in the air like peaches,I looked up to search for a light source,I saw a candle and cursed myself for not carrying a lighter.Then suddenly the ground graved in and my entire body feel unbalanced.I fell on my back with an “Ouch”,my hand dangling in the hole made by the cave in the tiles.
Suddenly something touched my leg,I flinched so hard people could think I would be dying from just that scare.I wouldn't be surprised,I was always jumpy and had really no friends,perhaps people just didn't like me when I think about it.I got up and started to feel for a wall,while avoiding the hole and making sure not to run into the wall.My palms are cold,then something warm is against my palm,I start to feel around and I notice it a brick.It must of been a fireplace,perhaps I can light it if there’s a something like a light source near.A sound echoes throughout the thin walls,it sounded like a click of a tongue when someone is annoyed.*Click* and repeating *Click*,it wouldn't stop so I halted my movements any further.
Once their footsteps were away,I started searching around the bricks in the wall to find something,when my finger brushed against something slimy.I quickly took my hand away from the wall because of the strange feeling.I quickly find a desk by stubbing my foot,hopefully whoever that was didnt hear it,I searched on the cold wooden table to find something huge,it seemed like a oil lamp and that was perfect.Thinking that the sticky liquid could be useful for something like gasoline,I tried putting it in one hand and trying my best to pour it into the oil lamp.I search around the bottom looking for the little knob to start the fire,I grab something like a knob and twist it around and I see a yellow yet orange flame flickering then coming to life.Grabbing the oil lamp I decided to shine it around the room and see if I can find something to defend myself,for wherever I am.While brushing my hand around the wooden desk,a hard cold object shaped in the shape of a baton.I shined my light on the object below my hand and like I thought there was a baton,but besides it was a pistol and I didn't originally notice at first.I grabbed the baton and put it in my belt,so it didn't fall out and I grabbed the pistol and kept it near my hand.Never using a pistol was probably not helpful since it was the best weapon of choice.Working as a barista,helped with my reaction skills at least,especially avoiding getting coffee on you and other customers.Back to the subject on hand I started walking towards the wall to see if there was a door,while looking around for 10 minutes I found the shape of a door,I kept looking for a handle with the flickable light source.Once the knob was known to my brain,I started to turn on it and pull.The door creaked open slowly like a ghost was still haunting this place with this a shiver went down my spine.When I look outside,I see the cordeur more lively and not rotten and moldy,when I walked on the floorboard and it creaked,inside I was cringing.I tried being light on my footsteps like if a monster was gonna come and get me if I took a move to loud.I look on the ground and a red with a gold trim and diamond shape white designs in the middle repeating,I crouch down a feel the fabric and check if i'm in the house of wealth or this place is abandoned.The carpet was made out of silk,it was thin and was meant for decoration more than walking on due to dust gaining on the corners.A sound *Click*,I yell out “Who’s There!”,no reply.
Thinking back, maybe I shouldn't have yelled out in such a way to tell whoevers there that someone is in their domain and not even have the chance to get out.I avoid the carpet just in case someone does live here and they decided to stab me for ruining their carpet,people are crazy these days.I walk soundless around the halls till I came face to face an elevator,It's most likely not working so the stairs should be more safer.While holding the lantern the light eventually flickers out leaving me in darkness once again,I walk towards the nearest wall for a exit door like in skyscrapers.The creaky floorboards start to shake and *Click8 are appearing again,just where am I and who is here with me!
I’ve found this place recently from running away from that monster,the rooms, a secret passage in the wall,it was covered up by a wardrobe.Writing on the wall helps keep calm and not let the monster come near me,being in this place can ruin your sanity,the best you can do is keep the demons away.Getting food has been hard,since I haven't explored any further down than one floor,Losing track of time is normal since all the windows are bordered up and have metal bars between them.Red seems to replicate blood which in a place like this is terrible,oh so very terrible and hearing screams of children in the walls like their ghosts have come to scare me out of here,and escape while I still can.A cat meows every day if im correct,the cats my only resource for time although the cat seems like it's smarter than what I think,then again how could a cat be smarter than me”Meow”,it’s officially the fifth day.
